Maloney's field gold attempt.

[tri-hard]

Was'nt that a straight forward knock on. The Brisbane player is playing at the ball with his hand , hes facing our goal line. What am I missing?

its a charge down

[roostersrule2]

It would have gone back anyway.

Though I'm pretty sure it made every Broncos player offside, Jared probably was too so it kind of evened out.

I don't think so. Once the Bronco played at it & touched it, it put all Roosters in front of the kicker on side. Much like when there is a kick down field & its played at & touched by a defender.

It's not a charge down that's ridiculous. If a player puts a bomb up and I knock it forward when I'm 25m away it's a knock on not a charge down.

Im missing something here Are we talking about the field goal which hit the crossbar ? Im sure whoever it was got a hand to it and tipped it onto the crossbar This put Hargreaves onside but I cannot for the life of me see how this could be a knock on seeing it went back on to the crossbar

A discussion about our lack of a skilled field-goal kicker may be more pertinent. That was embarrassing. I'm a 41 year old sack of shit and I think I could have done better. This could cost us dearly in the business end of the season.

Should it have been six again?

Someone called Talkin' sport on Monday and said that there is a rule that states that in the attempt of a field goal that if it is touched in flight and hits the cross bar it is deemed to be a goal.
I can't find that ruling anywhere. Tunks said it was hard to tell whether he touched but didn't question the ruling.

At the end of the day almost no one has ever seen a current rule book.

Was what I was thinking.

I wish I was a 41 yr old sack of shit. Instead of a 49 yr old sack of shit.

[Johnny Tobin]

We are terrible at field goals. Have been for years.

No idea how to set one up. No idea even when we should take one in the context of the game.

We don't even put blockers next to the play the ball to stop the chasers. Every other team puts four or more there. Having said that, if we did we would probably be the only side penalised for it.

[Cockadoodledoo]

Why we ever throw the ball to Pearce in the hope he will kick one, I will never know. Because of our lack of structure we are best of shooting from dummy half, just as Maloney did against the Cowboys in the prelim final last year. I would also rather Friend or RTS to have the crack because they seem to have a 'golden touch' that our halves, particularly Pearce lack.

[Johnny Tobin]

I think Pearce is batting at just over 15%. That's positively Finch-like.
